A magnificent avenue connects the splendid Old Port and the Réformés quarter in Marseille, France. Attractions include the Phare de Sainte Marie lighthouse and the Abbey of St Victor. Enjoy it all with a hotel booked by HotelTrael.com as your base.
Known for its beaches, (it has 35 miles of gorgeous coastline) and for its superb bouillabaisse (which all visitors should sample) it is now emerging as a dynamic creative centre for musicians, filmmakers, theatre directors and fashion and furniture designers. The new Marseilles is unfolding and NOW is the perfect time to visit!
Marseille, France’s second largest city enjoys a scenic Mediterranean location and owes much of its status to the strength of its port, a feature that has played an integral part in the history of Marseille since its early days. Historical sights are evident around the town, yet are complimented by the ambience of a modern metropolis and seaside holiday destination.
As a coastal city, Marseille benefits from good beaches at which activities for both families and outdoor pursuit enthusiasts are available. In the countryside of the Provence region are plenty of pleasant nature spots where a variety of activities are possible. Sports fans can enjoy watching a game of soccer at the Stade Velodrome, while golfers can get a round or two in at the excellent Aix Marseille Golf Club.
Sightseeing in Marseille is largely a historical experience, with numerous splendid old buildings offering plenty to please the eyes and making for interesting entries in holiday photo albums. Religious buildings provide the dominant theme, with the magnificent Cathédrale de la Major among the highlights. For something a little different, the natural appeal of the Calanques is sure to please outdoor types.
